RUSTIC AND ANTIQUE CAMES 


The charm and distinctive qualities of hand-wrought leaded win- 
dows has no doubt appealed to architects and interior decorators 
as a desirable decorative feature for homes and many public build- 
ings. But the lack of artisans who can do this kind of work has 
precluded its use to any great extent. 


[t is now possible to obtain the exact effects found heretofore only 
in the hand-wrought cames. The soft, curving, irregular outline 
so much desired, as well as the hand-made surface effect, can be 
had in every length of Rustic and Antique Cames, with the fur- 
ther certainty that no two pieces will ever be exactly alike. 


The Rustic and Antique Cames illustrated in this folder are the 
result of extensive research. They are not intended to be repro- 
ductions of any particular period of the art, but were designed with 
the idea of getting away from the mechanically perfect cames and 
to preserve the feeling and atmosphere of the old craftsmanship. 


The irregularity of Rustic and Antique Cames, both in outline and 
surface effect, adds interest to any leaded window, no matter how 
simple the design. It adds motion and life to the window. And 
the result is a note of quaintness so desirable in any home and 
many public buildings.

A beautiful example 
of modern glazing art, 
illustrating increased

been used effectively.

The Rustic and Antique Cames as we manufacture them are not only 
interesting because of their irregularity, but because of the fact 
that no two pieces are exactly alike. There 1s not even monotony 
in their irregularity, every came presenting a slightly different de- 
sign. The charm of hand-work and the interest that 1t always 
arouses is thus assured. 


These cames add interest to the plainer forms of glazing, such as 
rectangles and diamonds. They soften what otherwise would be 
uninteresting straight lines. 

Four sizes are furnished reinforced. This consists of a steel bar em- 
bedded between two hearts and milled in, making it water and 
airtight, and preventing any chance of corrosion of the steel bar. 


The plain is a single heart came without reinforcement.

Suggested Motifs 


The five motifs shown at the top of the first 
page of this folder are heraldic in design. 
They are particularly adapted for use in stair- 
way and library windows of the home, or in 
many public buildings. ai 

The motifs on the second and third pages are 
mostly ecclesiastical. Simple and dignified in 
design, they will lend themselves admirably 
to use in all forms of church windows. 

The designs on this page are decorative in ef- 
fect. The atmosphere of quaintness and inter- 
est that these motifs will add to any home or 
public building has a peculiar appeal. 


All of these designs can be worked up in 
either colored or plain glass. Either Rustic or 
Antique Cames can be used effectively. 


Any architect or decorator who wishes addi- 
tional information about Rustic and Antique 
cames, of cames in any, special form, can ob- 
tain it by writing us. No obligation will be 
incurred. |
